This is the best place ot work. You will get the best sales training you could ever think of. Managment support is the best. They understand that you need ramp up time to build your business. The database is awesome, you can run just about any report you could ever think of. There are seven lines of business to pivot from in make your sales increase. Sky is the limit. All the people there are the best ever. All very hard workers.

Cons

Your territory is restricted. You will have to cold call for the rest of your life when there.

Pros

Robert Half is a very strong place to start a career. The hierarchy is non-existant making job progression very fair and attainable. I feel like I am truly working with the best and brightest. I also received MBA reimbursement which was a big plus after those two expensive years. Travel is not too bad, especially for the industry and the compensation and benefits are pretty good. I'd say in-line with market or even slightly above. I have no complaints in that department although bonuses can be on the conservative side. Other benefits are great and all in all Robert Half is a great place to build a career.

Cons

There are definitely a few negatives to Robert Half. My office in Chicago seems a bit old and plain while those in New York are said to be nicer. My computer was just recently updated but before that I had the same one for 5+ years. IT can also be hard to reach in times of need. Some of the upper level managers have serious ego problems but that is to be expected in the financial sector. The hours can be a bit long, especially during busy times so those in search of a "lifestyle" job should look elsewhere. I'm talking 60-90 hours depending on the week.
